Sunday, December 9, 8pm et/ptCHERRY ON TOP OF THE SUNDAE THAT'S ALREADY MELTED*Two Teams test their rocky relationships on the choppy waters of Croatia with very different results.*An oversight threatens major repercussions for an otherwise strong Team.*It's "the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae that's already melted" according to one Team, when Phil gives them some news at the Pit Stop.

Unless the news is to keep on racing....

My theory is that this is said by the first place team at the mat when they're given their next clue and told to "continue racing."

What puddin is referring to is my very first tip that led us to Croatia this season. I was given a head's up that a TAR "technical Person" had just returned home from Croatia after being released early because "his team had been eliminated". So we are thinking that this may not be a TBC this week. But then you read a comment like that and you start to wonder all over again!!

I really want to get this TBC out of the way so I can relax!!

That info is not foolproof by any means. The person could have been with the Blondes, then gone on to help with something else in Dubrovnik and then not been needed after that. Plus this is info heard at a remove (as in it was told to me not heard directly by me) so there is always room for misquoting.

But take it with a grain of salt and throw it in the mix is all!

I do think the way they frame that comment is suggestive of a TBC...and the sourced photos have been right on before...BUT!

Do we really have time for a NEW leg?? Let's count it out:

11 Episodes: 2 TBC's:

EP 1 LA to Ireland start 11 teams, end 10Ep 2 Ireland to Amsterdam start 10, end 9EP 3 Amsterdam to Ouagadougou start 9, end 8EP 4 Ouag to Ouag start 8, end 7Ep 5 Ouagadougou to Lithuania start 7, end 6EP 6 Lithuania to Croatia start 6, end 5 OREP 6 Lithuania to Croatia start 6--TBC--end 6EP 7 Croatia to Florence start 5, end 4 OREP 7 Croatia to Croatia (Split) start 6, end 5 EP 8 Florence to India start 4 almost certain TBC, end 4 (TBC could also be in Florence instead of course) OREp 8 Split to Florence start 5, end 4EP 9 India to Osaka start 4 end 3 OREP 9 Florence to India start 4 end 3EP 10 Osaka to Taiwan start 3 TBC end 3 OREp 10 India to Osaka start 3 end 3?? oops doesn't work! See--you have used one TBC and need another in Taiwan and that is how many we were told we would have..so doesn't seem to work...You would also need 12 episodes to play it out OR we would have to skip India entirely which would seem unlikely given the initial Vidcaps)EP 11 Taiwan to Alaska FINALE start 3, end 1 and all the numbers match!

So it works in my happy place anyway --where could have I gone wrong?

I think that it's the sibling because TK&Rachel screw up half the thing that they do so it's nothing special if it's them.anyway we know that the siblings are lagging behind so they must f*cked something up.

I think that this will be an elimination round and the next two rounds will be TBC. if it does I really hope that the siblings will be eliminated and not grandpa.

Puddin IA, I think it'll be nice to see a blood relative team win - so either Ron Christina/Don Nik/ Siblings .... and because they are awesome, goths! I have a 4/6 chance of being happy! (i still find it weird that the finish line is in Alaska!)

I guess you're right puddin -- A/H can easily make up time..... hopefully knocking out nate and jen =/
